Objective:
In the last decade, with the advancement of big data technology and the internet of things,
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) become fundamental for the success of a different range of applications
especially those demanding massive data processing.
Methods:
This paper investigates several tracking methods to introduce a novel cluster-based target tracking
analysis model.
Results:
Some crucial factors of the cluster-based routing protocols are demonstrated, and a comparison among
these different methods is conducted according to our taxonomy such as cluster formation, predicate/proactive,
target speed, single or multi-object tracking, boundary problem, scalability, energy efficiency, and communication
cost. This can help the community of researchers by providing clear information for further study.
Conclusion:
The proposed paper compares the differences and similarities between the available approaches
across different categories in terms of the Cluster construction, Clustering method, Object Speed, Number of
Objects, Boundary problem, and scalability. Finally, we can recognize some open issues that have so far gained
little publicity or remain unexplored yet.
